INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
The New York Chamber of Commerce Op
posed to the Bill as 1t Stands.

NEW YORK, Jan 6.-The regular meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce was held
to-day. Cornelius n Bliss on behalf OF
the special committee appointed to ex,
anime the interstate commerce bill now
pending before congress, made a report.
1t reviewed the provisions of the
bill and and said the committee objected
to the proposition of higher charges for a
long haul, and also the proposition OF
pooling. On the recommendation of the
report, resolutions were adopted spprov-
ing the senate bill No. 1852, except sec
ton four which prohibits greater charges
for shorter than for longer hauls,
also section five, which contains an
absolute provision against pooling.
1t is suggested to strike out or amend the
bill in accordance with the: following res
olptiou:
Resolved, that as the commission un-
der the proposed law will be charged
with important and intricate business
duties, tcey should, so far as the political
and non partizan consideration mentioned
in the bill will admit, be selected

CABLE RATE WAR.
The French Cable Company to Withdraw
from the Gable Pool.

IEON INC JdDlo HOOls
NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The recent rumors
that the French Cable Company is about
to withdraw from the cable pool were
confirmed substantially yesterday by pri.
vate dispatches from Paris, which stated
that the company has given notice of its
withdrawal. At the New Ycri, office Sup
erintendent Brown, who is also agent OF
the Direct United States Com
pany, said that he had
receive d no positive information on the
subject, but that he had no special reason
for discrediting the report. Itwould not
be necessary to inform him ab1ut the
plans of the company until the change il
the management of the New York office
was made. Mr.. Brown expressed the
opinion that the withdrawal would
be the ruin of the French company for
it was hardly possible that it could
earn out of the pool more than its present
proportion of combined earnings. A
Western Union director claimed that the
rumors were true and that the French
company had gwen notice of its with
drawal from the pool. General Manager
Ward of the Commercial Cable Company
said he had no Information on the sub
ject, although he had hear the rumors.

for the statement that the democratic

advocacy of prohibition. This is a
pretty broad statement for the journal

As we predicted last week the bill
extending the time when penalty at

adopted last Friday. 1t reads; Cal!
unpaid taxes for 1886 shall become
delinquent Feb. l, 1887, and shall
draw interest at the rate of one per
cent per month from the date Of such
delinquency until July /, 1887, when
there shall be added as a penalty five
per cent upon the amount SO re-
manning unpaid"
LATER.-Since the above was in
type we learn that the bill was vetoed
by Gov. Pierce on the opinion of the
attorney general that it did not pre-
vent the restraining of property for
the payment of LAKES. The Judiciary
committee, has, however, reported an
other bill for the same purpose, COW
ering the objections of the governor.

CORN CROP IN KANSAS.

The Abilene Daily Gazette says: The
Kansas fire insurance company of that city
recently sent circular letters to their cores
pondents and agents throughout the state
asking for information in regard to the
present prospects of the corn crop. The
company asked for actual facts, preferring
an estimate that would fall short of the
yield than one which would exceed. The
answers to inquiries sent out for valuable
basis upon which to make a reliable esti-
mate of the total yield Of corn In the state
this year. The replies were not quite half
in, and when every section has been heard
from it will be an easy matter to figure the
total and obtain the exact average through
out the state. The answers were arranged
in statistical order, first the present pros
pect, second the conditional prospect, as
follows by counties:
